Stop signs planned as U.S. 59 opens expressway
Blubaugh cites rising accident frequency on two lane U.S. 56 with hills and no shoulders. KDOT data from 2002 to 2005 show 36 crashes, 17 injuries, no fatalities, mostly when drivers on U.S. 56 pull in front of U.S. 59 traffic. Four way stops at similar sites reduced high speed crashes as construction begins on a four lane U.S. 59 east of the existing road.

Lawmakers clash over drug import plans and FDA oversight
Obey of Wisconsin notes the House approved six spending-bill import ideas over seven years with limited success, while Brost recalls a 2000 plan dropped for impractical phrasing. FDA permits small personal-use imports but cannot guarantee safety as CBP expanded seizures in 2004 and 2005. Nelson cites roughly 34,000 seized packages since November and the Bush administration opposes loosening restrictions.
